Fuel Cap release takes LONG!
Just had my first 100+ mile day today and had the REx on. Went to fill up near home and stood there while the gas cap said it was 25% ready to open. I sat there for a few minutes but it never got past 25% and called it off. I'll just get gas in the morning after charging. What gives? Does it really take a few minutes? I drove the tank empty, was it because of prolonged use? When I got home I tried again.. 75% ready. It had been a good 5 minutes since the gas station. Is this normal?

Usually only takes mine 20 seconds at most... I only ever fill the Rex when totally empty now I'm more comfortable knowing the range and burn rates.
I haven't noticed any environmental factors that effect how long for it takes to prepare for refueling: Extreme heat, below freezing, sea level, 6000', totally empty, partially empty. |

I've never had an issue, although I've only filled mine twice in 8 months. That said, it appears that it isn't uncommon. From the owner's manual:
